I just bought a 2002 GC Laredo Sport 4.0 4x4 this is my DD so I'm just going to do a mild lift bc i hate stock ****. So im going to install a 2" lift with some 30" or 31" tires.

As it sets now pretty much plain

And a buddy of mine works at a scrap yard had a dude bring in 5 mint condition 17" Moab wheels today that came off a 2012 jeep wrangler rubicon i gave $75 for them i think i got a hell of a deal.

Nice I'm subscribing to this. I too am doing a budget build on a 02 wj Laredo 4.0. You started with a much cleaner wj. Check out my build.

I am hopefully going to get that lift on tomorrow morning once I'm out of work. Its been in my back seat for like 2 weeks now. I keep running into problems so haven't gotten it on. What size tires are you thinking with your 2 inch lift?

I had that problem too. With the cooling fan. I replaced the fan relay 3 times the radiator 3 times the thermostat couldn't figure out why it kept over heating. I ended up having a blown head gasket and an electrical problem so I fixed the head and then wired my fan so its always on and skipped the fan relay.
